Group 7-day waking average?

5.9 this morning! And higher average for last week than the week before which comes as precisely zero surprise.
Still got a sore throat but otherwise feel fine.
Sent off a battery of samples for various testing just to see if it’s anything pesky which needs treating but I doubt it is more than maybe a bacterial thing in need of antibiotics perhaps.

Can’t for the life of me remember what the shrub was which was bedecked by ice but it looked stunning.

Only my 2nd of the year!

Waking average for last week was down 2mmol from the previous week so things are looking slightly better, for how long is anyone's guess!

Got a beautiful engraved glass keepsake from Bruce for Valentine's Day, he's mad! All mum's glass will come to me one day so we'll end up with nothing but!

Congrats!! I don’t think I’ve had one all year yet so I’m envious!
 
Morning all. :D 8.2 here...oops.

It’s positively balmy here this morning, and DRY. Should be a good walk this morning. Then it’s an all-day basal test while I finish knitting a hat for my neighbour - he’s 60 on Wed.

Well done all you HSers.

If I have it’s been a while. I seem to have settled into a pattern of low-mid 6s rather than constantly in the 5s.
 
Congratulations on your HS @Gwynn and @Kaylz

I am feeling much better today thanks.
Readings were very high yesterday perhaps due to the UTI.
No recurrance of the bowel and stomach problems and only had to get up 4 times in the night so slept reasonably well.
Urine is still running red but it does take 4 or 5 days for the antibiotics to kick in.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that though so don't be disheartened, it will come, as you mentioned you still have a bit of a sore throat so... I'm just happy that my waking average last week was down to 6.5 from 8.5 the previous week! xx
 
Congratulations on your HS @Kaylz 🙂
 
Congratulation @Gwynn and @Kaylz on your HS.
@ColinUK frozen plants/branches, all sorts make stunning sculptures.
Morning everyone. 8.8 on the libre, 7.4 finger prick, last few hours of my sensor. Levels still showing a range of mountain peaks, lockdown and rota working are really taking a toll now. Have upped basal again by another half, will see what happens.
GP supposed to be ringing me this morning about Section 88 driving. Keep your fingers crossed he says ok.
Have a good day everyone.
 
Catching up after a weekend away from the computer screen.

Congrats on the house specials @Kaylz and @Gwynn

A 5.9 on Saturday morning before blitzing the house in double quick time so I could settle down and watch the rugby. 8786 steps counted as my exercise. A 5.4 yesterday at 07:31. Watched some cricket finished off the washing, prepped Sunday dinner, did a ride on the exercise bike and then watched some more rugby!

A second 5.4 for me this morning at 06:55. I got drenched walking across the garden to let the chickens out. Sainsbury's delivered on Saturday but need a trip to the farm shop to pick up some meat today. Otherwise another day of work.

Have a good week everyone
 
good luck @freesia I have toes crossed for you (fingers aren't able just now LOL) xx
 
Good morning all - 6.4 this morning. Have just realised I can now post messages using my phone, so no need to fire the laptop up each morning :D

Have a great day everyone 🙂
 
10.1 for me this morning and been high (10-12) all night despite increasing evening Levemir by another half a unit.
Had a late low carb evening meal of moussaka (no potatoes, just aubergine) and green beans. There was quite a bit of fat and protein but thought the extra Levemir would deal with that.... clearly not! I didn't sleep well though and haven't the last few nights and when I sleep well my levels always drop, so that will be a factor.
Now up to my highest basal doses ever at 20u and 6u and still needing corrections. Whilst I am pretty active during the day looking after the animals, I really need to find time and motivation for formal exercise as well, as I have let that slide in the last couple of weeks and I know that will make a huge difference to my levels and my quality of sleep. My eating has also been disordered and I have been picking a lot more. I guess my discipline has lapsed in general and I need to kick myself up the bot.
Today is a new day and the start of a new week and a new year of my life, so a good time to draw the line and start again.
TIR is currently only 75% so I can only improve on that! Have pretty much decided that I am not getting on with the Fiasp and despite promising myself that I would give it a full year's trial this time, I am tempted to phone the clinic helpline this week and ask for my prescription to be changed back to NR. I just seem to be needing more and more Fiasp at the moment to bring levels down and then they plummet and shoot back up to double figures despite being very disciplined and even conservative about hypo treatments....often just 10g carbs (2JBS) takes me back up to double figures from low-mid 3s. Argh!


@Michael12421 So relieved to hear that you have started antibiotics and are feeling a bit better. Hope you are clear of the infection soon. It sounds like a really nasty one.

@Gwynn and @Kaylz Congrats to you both but particularly Kaylz as I know you have been struggling with your levels recently. Hopefully your HS will give you a bit of a lift mentally.

@freesia Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Please let us know when you have an update. I can't imagine it will be anything other than a positive outcome as you haven't needed any external intervention, but I can imagine how worried you are.
 
Feb fasting readings to date:
7.87.98.68.36.78.5-
4.85.26.16.36.46.36.2
6.0
 
@Kaylz congrats on the HS, glad you got a nice pressie of Bruce as well.
@Michael12421 glad you have antibiotics, hopefully they will settle things down soon.
@freesia - please let us know how you get on with your chat with the GP
@rebrascora - sounds like you're having a tough time of it at the mo, hope things improve soon x
